And anger will certainly, anger will certainly motivate that.

It's a power game now.

It's hard to be aware of it though.

Because you just have to go click and away you go. You know, it's like there's no lag. It's just not the forum.

It's set up to incentivize impulsive behavior. We have no idea. Impulsive behavior is a bad medium to long-term strategy, and that's the sine qua non of Twitter. And so it just might be a game that degenerates as you play it.

kind of discord and arguments i just don't look at that tab i look at the things that i'm following yeah i also don't look at it it's because it's too pathological yeah like it just aggregates bad actors well they're trying to no one knows what to do with twitter like and they're so i have to ask you another question because my daughter won't forgive me if i don't okay and there are other reasons too you taught a course for peterson academy i did

Well, we only invite people to participate who we want to hear from. And so this is something I definitely learned in academia. It's like, once you have the right person, leave them the hell alone. And if they're not the right person, then fire them.

Well, they are anyway. That's what I mean. The other thing that happens, of course, is that as soon as the theatrical presentation becomes woke, no one watches it.

And then... All the activists say, well, obviously Shakespeare is passé because no one's paying any attention to him anymore.

Well, no, in the UK, I mean... Oh, it's increasingly the case in classical music and everywhere in the arts world. and theatrical productions all across the United States. I think 50% of the theaters now in the United States are, the prophecy is that they'll go broke within the next two years. And it's like, the problem with propaganda is no one wants to watch it.

Yeah. Was he old? Hopefully. Another old white man.

Yeah.

Well, and Cleese also had trouble with part of the life of Brian, because there's a character in it, I think, is it Chapman? Oh, Loretta. Yeah, Loretta, right. Which is a very funny part of the movie, which is also a very, very funny movie. But yeah, he decides that he's a man or a woman, right?

Oh, no. Oh, you know. Well, I've spoken to him about it. Me too. And I know that... They had trouble with that when they were bringing the play on stage.

Well, how much artistic genius emerged in the Soviet Union?

Yeah, well, none. That's pushing it, but virtually none.
